Greetings Raymond, As per your request to me to cite some verses regarding Almighty Gods perfect plan of Salvation, accomplished through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, Let us begin in Genesis 3:15. The first glimpses of Gods eternal plan of Salvation for "fallen" mankind is revealed here. Adam and Eve through their " sin " have now plunged ALL humanity to be seperated from their true Creator, Almighty God. Since by one man came sin, therefore all men have sinned. (Rom. 5:12). The Wisdom of God is seen in Gen 3:15. The seed of " fallen " man is passed from the man to the woman via his seed, thus producing more of itself, that is " fallen mankind ". However, God has placed a enmity ( barrier ) between the woman and the seed within her. God was able to become " sinless flesh " because of this barrier. The Child conceived in Marys womb by the Holy Spirit was born " sinless ", that is without the fallen adamic nature that Mary had. Her blood and the Childs blood never mixed due to this barrier, hence God was able to become sinless flesh as He has always planned. Isaiah 7:14. 9:6, are further details of Gods plan of Salvation. John 1:1, " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God ". John 1:14 " and the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us". 1Tim.3:16, " God was manifested in the flesh ". Titus 2:13 " looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great GOD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST ". Raymond, bottom line is this, man has been seperated from God by Adam and Eve. Only a " sinless " man can redeem mankind. This was done as foretold by the prophets by God Himself taking on our humanity, suffering, dying, being resurrected and ascending back to glory in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the " Good News ". Your eternal salvation was secured by God Himself at Calvary, It is a free gift to all who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. By this you know the Spirit of God. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.( 1 John 4:3 ). Islam along with multiple other dead religions do not recognise Jesus Christ as Almighy Gods only way to salvation, thus by biblical definition they are Anti-christ and apostate. Almighty Gods revelation to mankind is complete in the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him alone. Please read carefully Hebrews 1-3. Raymond, please consider what Almighty God says of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you will experience the true and only way to Almighty God, that being through His Son. Grace be upon you and the Israel of God, the Church. Robert
